"Thereupon," says the Star, "Gen. Harrison took tho stand provided for him, and addressod the assem bly in a cloar, forcible and eloquent speech of two hours and a half duration. AH were pleased, all were delighted; and all drank in with interest the lessons of wisdom and experience which fell from his lips. If any indulged in scepticism up to tint hour, in regard to the intellectual strength and ability of the misrepresented and injured patriot before them, all such scepticism must have vanished, long before his speech was concluded. It would delight us much were we able to give this speech in the simple and fervid style of eloquence in which it was delivered. But this is impossible. Were we accustomed to reporting, which wo are not, it would be extremely difficult to do any thing like justice to a speech running through two or three hours in its delivery, embracing so great a variety of topics, and awakening so many conflicting emotions in the breast. We attempted to take no notes, and of course can do nothing like justice to the style and language ol tlie speaker. Notwithstanding this plea of inability, the editor of the Star has given a vivid sketch of the remarks of Gen. Harrison. From this sketch, we extract the following eloquent, truthful, and forcible reference to the effects of banks and the credit system : "He spoke of the banks; of the senseless cry raised against them, that their tendency was not, as had been pretended, to make the rich, richer, and the poor, poorer. Their tendency might be to make the rich, richer. but he denied that their tendency was to make tho poor, poorer. They were the means of opening facilities for the pool man to become rich. l)y increasing the capabilities ol men ol wealth to embark in enter AT RAVENNA. The cordial the enthusiastio reception which waa extended to Gen. Harrison during his recent visit to the Reserve counties, must have been peculiarly gratifying to the distinguished object of northern hospitality. The majority of the citizens of the Reserve prefer Mr. Clay as the Whig Presidential candidate, and yet Gen. Harrison's "exclusive" friends, if there be any such at this hour, could not have surpassed the people of the Reserve in expressions towards him of the warmest respect and the moBt elevated admiration. His visit to Ravenna, Portage county, is thus noticed by the Ohio Star : tiTha, nA Pinnpnr nf the West, the retired soldier of nrises useful to the country in schemes of internal North Bend, has been with us, and has partaken of improvement, in manufacturing, in building, tic., the ik. hnmitalilina nf tin, citizens of Portage.

We regret that General Harrison did not extend his visit north to Cleveland. Had he done so, it will be seen by the following, from the Cleveland Herald, that his reception would have been enthusiastio: It is a matter of regret that Gen. H. did not visit Cleveland, as many of our citizens wished to take him by the hand, and welcome him to the hospitalities of . rt..u - l Jl. - J : . .- our young city, iouia no nave mauu it convenient w spend a tew days in Cuyahoga, the population would have assembled en matte to exchange greetings with the soldier, the civilian, and the honest man. Monday, agreeably to previous arrangement, partook of a publio dinner. "The interest excited by the old soldier's visit among us, was truly heart-cheering and such as to show that the old war-beaten chief, notwithstanding the slanderous imputation with which the malignity of party spirit had sought to blacken nis character, noius a strong place in the affectionate regard and confidence of his fellow-citizens. 1 he bickerings of party were for a moment forgotten, and many of our high-minded and honorable political opponents, hesitated not to tender him their respectful salutations. "Old men bless-ed him children reverenced him and the lovely came out to look upon him." The hearty greeting which he gave his old soldiers, who had served under him, and who crowded around him, to renew their acquaintance, was full of affecting interest. "Though he came not to us a "nameless man, yet comparatively few had seen him, and all we presume were disappointed to see him bear his age, and the hardships which he has endured, so well. Though his head i. iW ' will. -. a-. -I, T Sons of it. fire, and hi. step 7- Hi. mind i. unclouded, ana s i .....-.-their full vigor. As much, and a. well, as we before bought of Gen.

The Festival on Monday was on the grandest scalo. Notwithstanding the urgent business of the season," ay. the Star; "hundreds of the farmer, of out county left their fields, to pay their respect, to the venerable Farmer of North Bend, and through him, to those exalted principles, to whi he and they are equally attached."

INo works ol internal Improvementno public enterprises, no manufacturing establishments, nothing that indicated, among the people, industry, prosperity, or happiness. In that country were the rich living in their splendid palaces, and the poor were poor indeed. So you will find it in all the despotisms of the old world so you will rind it wherever the credit system is abolished or unknown." After referring to many of the personal calumnies which had been recently heaped upon his aged head, Gen. Harrison referred to the interesting question of the Presidency. Hi. remarks are here given. Let every Whig peruse them. It i. due to peaceable unity of action, and to the character of him who delivered them: In relation to the allusion .aid he, which the gentleman who had addressed him, had been pleased to make to the situation in which he stood before the people of the U. States, he must be permitted to say, that he was personally responsible for having been placed wlio coulT witTi truth" aayTtCat'any suggestion which had the least tendency towards the expression of a wish to become a candidate for tho Presidency ever came from his lips or his pen. And yet he certainly had friends to whom such a suggestion might have been safely made. Could it be supposed that he was ignorant of the fact that at least in four State, of the Union from the decisive manifestations of attachment to him, frequently made by large bodies of their citizens, that he miirht have entered unon the canvass under auspi ces by no means unpromising! Could it be supposed too, that he did not know that "tho thousand and one" calumnies which had been for twenty-five years so in-rluatrinimlv circulated airainst him could be easily re futed! The very fact that he had never before visited this interesting portion of a State of which he had for o many years been a citizen, that he was here (excepting the remnant of those gallant bands whom he had the honor to command in the second war of Indepen dence,) in the midst of strangers, afforded sufficient evidence that he never sought the mean, of placing himself in the situation ol competitor to the distinguish nA men who have from time to time been brought for ward as candidates for the highest office in the gift of the people. His ambition was limited to the lailhtui discharge of the duties of the more humble offices which the confidence of his fellow citizens or of their Gov ernment had conferred upon him. Indeed, at the po- EDITOR'S CORRESPONDENCE Mr. Editor: As the time is near at hand for the nomination of Whig candidates for the Legislature, does it not become the people to demand and know the true potilion of those Whig, who have caused, or permitted, themselves to be announced as candidates, without any apparent evidence existing that their ser vices in a public station, at this time, were desired; or likely to be called for by their political friends, We would not be understood as denying the absolute ghl of the citizen to be a candidate for any office he may desire. But we doubt much whether the man, who, at a crisis like the present, insists on this right, in defiance of tbe wishes of those whom he look, to for support, is entitled to the appellation of a true Whig. To be entitled to that proud namo, he should all times be found prepared to sacrifice hi. personal interest, and his ambition for publio honors, at the shrine of the public good. Every patriot must admit that the present posture of affairs pre-eminently de mands a strict adherence to this rule of action, departure from it may give the Tories the ascendancy the next Legislature. Nothing the can. Only think of the spectacle that would be presented by this great State sending to the United States Senate such man as we object to the names cited by our corres pondent. Their mention would but give importance to the insignificant. when the Whigs of every other State in the Union are doing their duty. A word now to tho Whig candidates above alluded . It is confidently belie red that a full and unquali- fled avowal of the position yon occupy i. desired by the public previous to the nomination, which are soon to be made. And we do but .peak the wishes of the Whig, throughout tho county, in calling on you to say, whether you are candidate, for nomination by the County Convention, and whe.'lier, if not nominated you will continue in the field! not that you will answer promptly. MANY, "There " sav. the Star, "were the soldier, of the riod of hi. first nomination by a portion of the people Revolution there were the soldier, of the last war there waa the Hero and Defender of the North-West- ern Frontier, surrounded by a more recent generation, and as the delightful strains of "Auld Lang Syne always filled wilh a pleasing melancholy, fell upon the ear, how must tha memories of these veterans run back to scenes, which, though never to return, are never to be forgotten; and how must me minus oi n. to other days, when this fuir portion of the land was a howling wilderness, with but here and there a newly commenced settlement, and when the honored guest of the day, amidst hazards and privations which cannot now be appreciated, wa. .triving to repel the invasion, of a .avago foe." The following toast, the sovenlh of the regular series, was received with great enthusiasm : "William Henrt Harrison.' Inheriting from his birth the virtues and principle, of revolutionary times, well has he illustrated them in a life of uncommon ile-votedness and fidelity in the publio service. His name is enshrined in million, ot nearts.nnu wncu waves nf party shall cease to boat upon it, posterity will do ample justice to lhat character whose history will occupy one of tha brightest pages in American Annals." Upon the reading of the toast, George Kirkum, Esq. first Vice Piesident of the day, tendered to Gen. Harrison, on behalf of the citizen, of Portage, "a cor dial welcome to the county, and the simpia nospiiair of that magnanimous State which upon every occasion has man tested the ourltv ol her patriotism oy disin terestedness of her course, he had supposed that hi. political careor wa. forever ended. It was the voice of the people which induced him to change the peaceful, and to him most delightful occupation of the hus bandman for the troubles and mortification, incident to the situation in which they placed him. It was tho same voice which had again elevated him to an equali. ty in claims for Ihe most exalted office not only in this nation but in the world, with the two mostdislinguish- ed cilizen. of our country. And however willing ha might be a. an individual to acknowlcge their superior attainments in the science of Government, he could not and would not bring himself to a level below that upon which o many honest, intelligent and palrintio citizens had places him. The exalted opinion, which hi, had of the two atateamcn to whom ho had alluded wa. well known. Ono of them, Mr. Clay, he had ever snnnorted with the most ardent zeal whenevoran opportunity offered. His claims to rank amongst the most able statesmen none could deny, and he took a great pleasure in stating, that after having; enjoyed hie ? he helieverN unlimited confidence for years, in power, and out of power, he had never formed an idea that Greece or Rome ever possessed a purer patriot. Hi. distinguished rival in forensic attainments was every way his equal, and he should possess tne sympathy of every hontst man, for the unjust prejudice which are entertained against him. Daniel Webster waa never otherwise than a patriot.

He had not time to go into particulars, but he appealed to the known generosity of western bosoms to lay aside their unfounded prejudices against a man to whose enlarged and disinterested course they have been so much indebted. He had not given to these men, the high character which he had ascribed tothem for the purpose of do-riving advantage from the partiality of his fellow citizens, who had placed him by their side. By no means.

Mr. Gaixaoher: I propose to the County Con vention which is to assemble in this City on the 4th of August next, the name, of Col. James Kilboum of Worthington, and Col. Wm. Doherty, of tins city, as candidates to represent the people of Franklin in the next Legislature. I have not consulted those gentlemen in reference to ibis step, but I have conversed with many of the people both in the country and city, and find it receives their hearty approbation. It is, I believe, already decided by tha common consent of Ihe people of the District, that they will send friend Ridgway back to Congress.

The General is decidedly live most popular candi date, in this county, that hat bena named for the Presidency by the Whig party. You are aware, I presume, that this county ha. always been one of the 'strongest holds" of Jacksoaisna and Van Buronism; the majorities of the party being generally from five to sovon hundred. At tho last Presidential election, Harrison received a larger vote than waa ever given to any other Whig candidate for the Presidency the majority of Van Buren over him being only about two hundred and eighty votes, Mr. Clay ha very many strong friend, hore they have the utmost confidence in his principles and inter- rity hut Harrison seems to be the man for the people, and a greater voto csa bo obtained for him than for any other man. Should he receive tho nomination, of the Whig Convention, "Old Columbiana" will givo him a majority of her voles. If she does not, I am much' mistaken in the sign, of the times. To J, W. GORDON, Esq. I observe in your communication of the 7th instant. dated at Piqua, that you have directly drawn my name before the public. It is seldom that I pay any regard to matters of this character, choosing rather to let the authors of such attacks enjoy the brief eclat they are aesignea to produce, than to put myselt to the trouble of making a serious reply; and then, too, it runs counter to my vory nature to treat the slang of the day wilh seriousness. When, however, the nature of the allusion to me is of such an import as actually to invite a reply, i usually crave pardon ot the public, and, in my plain, flat, home-spun way, try and correct whatever appoars false and deceptive in its character, and likely to mislead thecommunity in which I live, I had no knowledge of you, sir, prior to your appearance in the communication referred to, nor, indeed, did I know that such a beingas yourself was in existence, until the pa per containing yourepisiifl wus put into niy nanus bya friend, I have nothing to do with any portion of your publication beyond the singlo paragraph devoted to myself; and can only hope, for the preservation of your own reputation for veracity, that you have been less unfortunate in respect to others than to me. The paragraph particularly devoted to myself reads as bl ows: "In adverting to a few removals for opinion's sako. which took place in the Congressional district in which I reside, a fair specimen may be given of the evils growing out of Gen. Jackson a new system. I will first name Col. Johnston, former Indian Agent. Col. Johnston had filled this office during the period of a-bout 30 years, from long experience had become well acquainted with the genius of the Indians, had made many advantageous treaties for the Government, with them, and had more influence with them, than a stranger possibly could have. In a word, he was "honest and capable." But in the exercise of his rights as a freeman, he had dared to prefer another to Gen. Jack son, tor which he was removed from office, and his place filled by Mr. McElvain.oneof the faithful devotees of Gen. Jackson. Was Mr. McElvaincompetent! L,ct tne loiiowing relation ol tacts answer this question. Col. Johnston removed 2200 Indian, beyond the Mississippi, at an expense of gll,000. Messrs. Mcblvain & Uo. removed 7.10 over the same ground, which coat the government $47,000. It appears then that if Mr. McEivain had removed the same number which Col. Johnston removed, (from the comparative expense incurred by the two agents) that it would have cost the Uovernment 9141,000, making a difference of J 130,000 in the management of Col. Johnston snd Mr. McEivain. In the last removal about 40 men were employed, at from l,50 to S5 per dav. A wagon and team were hired near Piqua, the owner of winch was one oi the lailhtui. Both he and his son were wagon masters. Both, it is true, were sober men. They had charge of the loaf sugar and fourth proof brandy, by which sundry of the agents daily got "badly tore," and at least on one occasion they fought iiko aors, ana tnus tney proceeded until a special A-gent had to be despatched from Washington City, to take charge of the expedition, and these functionaries wero dismissed from office." After looking at these grave charges, and duly reflecting tpon them, it was quite natural enough that I should ii quire who this Gordon is, what part of the country t o inhabits, and what his standing in society! Well, at it I went, with a firm determination that, should he turn out to be a man of character, and possessed of high-minded, honorable principles, I would, in spite of either passion or prejudice, endeavor to point out the error, into which he has fallen, and leave him in that eonrern of mind which such a rebuke would naturally bring upon him. This it is quite in my power to do. But I was proceeding to say that I immediately instituted an inquiry who you was, &c. and after somewhat of a minute investigation of the matter, I am happy to inform you that I have not yet come across a single solitary individual who ever knew or heard of you before, except one solitary person a post-rider, I believe who represenUvou to be a mild, unspotted, erauTy well oTinThe worPT; amfhe gave it as his candid belief, that if you ever said any thing harsh against any one, it was because he differed with you in political matters; and he asnred me, too, that a truer patriot, or a more noble, generous creature, could not be fonnd in all Mereatraufsthan yourself; that yon would go all lengths, and stop at nothing, for the good of your country, even to the great damage and derangement of yonr private concerns, and the injury of your family. These disinterested traits of character, sir, are a rare articlenow-a-days; and a man ao richly endowed with them as yourself, who has not a tainted spot about him, and possessed of abilities of uncommon order, can do much, very much, if sufficiently indnstrions, in reforming the abuses of the country, and revolutionizing the small neighborhood monopolies which have crept in among as in Ohio. These are certainly matters of rather serious interest to as, and you must go on, sir, in ferreting out the manifold evil, with which we are af- nicted. 1 will lend you a helping hand, btand up boldly in protecting the liberties of the people. Though aome may sneer, and other, look cold toward, you, lor your wucpenuence, it is nnposaiuie mat ao nouie and disinterested an undertaking can long escape the public eye, or be permitted for any length of time to go unrewarded. Posterity will remember yon, and althoagh but little known now in the world, a few more such lucky thrusts aa your lato one will give immortality to your name. Still, my dear sir, I must chide yoa a little. We who love the people so dearly, should never forget to remember that they must never be deceived or defrauded. Fultchood is soon detected by them. It can have no security in the garb of treachery or deception, and I know it cannot be in yonr nature, from the history given of you, to willfully tell an untruth. You and I must be cautious in this particular. We can never be too guarded in what wa write, and particularly in writing fur the press; for, depend apon it, if we slip the truth, the pcnplo will find it ont, and then our influence is prostrate forever. These editors are sometime, ao eager for a good thing, that they .natch up a communication before it i. half finished, and ere the author has pondered over its contents twico, to himself, it ha. perhaps travelled half the continent in the Gazettes of the day. Now then, air, directly to the point. Yon have been a littlo hasty, my friend, or some one for vou. in pen ning down the notice of my Indian agency in Ohio. The above is the extract. I am sorry to have to in form you, in thoj vory face of h, that some war has grossly misled you in this business, and, through his falsehoods, I am quite fearful that you will lose your .....uviiv-d w nil mi pwpia fi. juui num. mo una 1 shou'd deeply monrn, as inereny one oi ine main pillars of American liberty would be overthrown. Now, sir, I sell yoa njuy mat i never was, either directly or indirectly, concerned In removing Indians through Pinna that I never appointed wagon-masters in the service during the whole term of my agency nor had any one else with me the pamlul labor to perform of taking care of the loaf sugar and bmndy you mentioned; and that your entire article, painful as it is - - to me to sny It, Is, from beginning to end, so lar as relates to myself, utterly, absolutely, and wholly untrue. You refer to the aoency of my predecessor, Colonel Johnston. Although I am not within some fifteen or twenty years of hrs age, I am not a stranger to the western Indians : I have been bred from boyhood within the neighborhood of the leading tribes, most of whom am now in their grave or beyond the Mississippi. The treaties brought about with the Delu- wares, the onawances, tno oonpens, ine uitawas, etc. will attest my acquaintance and influence with them. nono of which bear the marli of profusion you havo siven them; and as respects the charge of extrava gance brosght against me, I feel ready to compare ac count wilh my predecessor at any lima, nnd on any ocension he may designate; snd although by reason of being immediately aurronntled by while people, several of the Indian tribes tmder my agency were rendered more difficult snd troablcsome to manago, and consequently occasioning much disturbance and enhanced expenses to the Government, (a difficulty but little known to Col. Johnston in the early part of hi. agency,) still, notwithstanding he was a good agent, and faithful in the discharge of his public trust. I will, however, hazard what little reputation I have In community upon the assertion that my contingent expense, rost the Government 85 percent, lea. during the time I had charge of Ihe Indians, than wn. expended during the agency of my predecessor for the same length of , time. This, sir, can be easily substantiated. Col. Johnston, ao doubt, as I'have done, retained a correct memorandum every item of expenditure; and if yon and the Colonel will take the trouble to draw off a complete abstract of the expenditures of his agency for the last six years of his term, I' do hereby pledge myself to make out, under the inspection of the stiffest imx-remmpiionitt, from Nick Bidclle down,' thai yoif may name here at th capital, or elsewhere, of the expenditures of my agency) and have them both published to the world.

Myself and two assistants were about sU "weeks in making the Indians ready for the journey, and the removal, as I subsequently learned, was conducted with no inconsiderable prudence and 'skill: Birring- the past year. I was for the first time engaged id removing a band of I unowas irom tno maumre to the Indian country beyond tha Mississippi fiver the1 only one I have ever removed, or will ever again attempt to remove, silbated aa they.

We present our readers with an American anecdote from the pen of a valued correspondent, respecting the composition of "Hail Columbia," by Judge Hopkin-son, which will be- new to most of our subscribers. - AMERICAN HISTORICAL ANECDOTE. Mr. Editor: Though yon are aware that the Hon. Judge Hopkinson i tbe author of Hail Columbia, yon may not anow tne circumstance, under which it waa written. 1 have heard the history of the sonir more than once, and hope-that it may find a place of record in some corner of jout "Journal," and he-rescued from oblivion. . .. Li the year 1798, when patriotic feeling pervaded tha country, and when there were serenJ i,ni, in the field, Mr. Fox, a young player, who was more ad mired for hi. vocal than histrionic powers, called one morning upon hi. friend Mr.- H.and, after stating that the following evening had been appointed for his benefit, and expressing great fear fur the reault, a. not a .ingle box had been taken, begged hi friend to do omething in hi. behalf. "If," Baid Fox, "you will write me some patriotio verse, to the tune of the President's March, I feel sum of a full house. Several of the people about the Theatre have attempted it; but they have come to the conclusion that ;i....i k. done, yet I think yousnay succeed.'.' Mr. H. consent- ea to msxe me trial, and requested Fox to call in the evening to iudire of the result. Mr. Hopkins retired to hi study, and in a short time wrote the first vers and chorus, which weresub-milted to Mrs. Hopkinson. who sanir tlim to . accompaniment, and proved the measure and music to uocompaiiuie and In keeping.

"Thereupon," says the Star, "Gen. Harrison took tho stand provided for him, and addressod the assem bly in a cloar, forcible and eloquent speech of two hours and a half duration. AH were pleased, all were delighted; and all drank in with interest the lessons of wisdom and experience which fell from his lips. If any indulged in scepticism up to tint hour, in regard to the intellectual strength and ability of the misrepresented and injured patriot before them, all such scepticism must have vanished, long before his speech was concluded. It would delight us much were we able to give this speech in the simple and fervid style of eloquence in which it was delivered. But this is impossible. Were we accustomed to reporting, which wo are not, it would be extremely difficult to do any thing like justice to a speech running through two or three hours in its delivery, embracing so great a variety of topics, and awakening so many conflicting emotions in the breast. We attempted to take no notes, and of course can do nothing like justice to the style and language ol tlie speaker. Notwithstanding this plea of inability, the editor of the Star has given a vivid sketch of the remarks of Gen. Harrison. From this sketch, we extract the following eloquent, truthful, and forcible reference to the effects of banks and the credit system : "He spoke of the banks; of the senseless cry raised against them, that their tendency was not, as had been pretended, to make the rich, richer, and the poor, poorer. Their tendency might be to make the rich, richer. but he denied that their tendency was to make tho poor, poorer. They were the means of opening facilities for the pool man to become rich. l)y increasing the capabilities ol men ol wealth to embark in enter AT RAVENNA. The cordial the enthusiastio reception which waa extended to Gen. Harrison during his recent visit to the Reserve counties, must have been peculiarly gratifying to the distinguished object of northern hospitality. The majority of the citizens of the Reserve prefer Mr. Clay as the Whig Presidential candidate, and yet Gen. Harrison's "exclusive" friends, if there be any such at this hour, could not have surpassed the people of the Reserve in expressions towards him of the warmest respect and the moBt elevated admiration. His visit to Ravenna, Portage county, is thus noticed by the Ohio Star : tiTha, nA Pinnpnr nf the West, the retired soldier of nrises useful to the country in schemes of internal North Bend, has been with us, and has partaken of improvement, in manufacturing, in building, tic., the ik. hnmitalilina nf tin, citizens of Portage.

We regret that General Harrison did not extend his visit north to Cleveland. Had he done so, it will be seen by the following, from the Cleveland Herald, that his reception would have been enthusiastio: It is a matter of regret that Gen. H. did not visit Cleveland, as many of our citizens wished to take him by the hand, and welcome him to the hospitalities of . rt..u - l Jl. - J : . .- our young city, iouia no nave mauu it convenient w spend a tew days in Cuyahoga, the population would have assembled en matte to exchange greetings with the soldier, the civilian, and the honest man. Monday, agreeably to previous arrangement, partook of a publio dinner. "The interest excited by the old soldier's visit among us, was truly heart-cheering and such as to show that the old war-beaten chief, notwithstanding the slanderous imputation with which the malignity of party spirit had sought to blacken nis character, noius a strong place in the affectionate regard and confidence of his fellow-citizens. 1 he bickerings of party were for a moment forgotten, and many of our high-minded and honorable political opponents, hesitated not to tender him their respectful salutations. "Old men bless-ed him children reverenced him and the lovely came out to look upon him." The hearty greeting which he gave his old soldiers, who had served under him, and who crowded around him, to renew their acquaintance, was full of affecting interest. "Though he came not to us a "nameless man, yet comparatively few had seen him, and all we presume were disappointed to see him bear his age, and the hardships which he has endured, so well. Though his head i. iW ' will. -. a-. -I, T Sons of it. fire, and hi. step 7- Hi. mind i. unclouded, ana s i .....-.-their full vigor. As much, and a. well, as we before bought of Gen. Harrison, we frankly acknowledge, that the opportunity which we have had to see and he., the olS veteran, ha. elevated him far in our estimate of the man nd the statesman,, nd v'" not to declare onr firm conviction, that he will adorn any station to which the partiality of his countrymen may call him, and as the nominee of a national convention, (should the choice fall on him) we can, and shall throw up our cap with I most hearty shout for the "Hero of Tippecanoe." The Festival on Monday was on the grandest scalo. Notwithstanding the urgent business of the season," ay. the Star; "hundreds of the farmer, of out county left their fields, to pay their respect, to the venerable Farmer of North Bend, and through him, to those exalted principles, to whi he and they are equally attached." Dariu. Lyrrcji presided, assisted by a , number of Vice Pre.iuei-T . . large procession marched to a neighboring groye'.'and more than a thou-aand persons, among who.n were many ladies, partook of a plentiful repast, was called a Republic; but little evidence of a free Re public was to be seen. INo works ol internal Improvementno public enterprises, no manufacturing establishments, nothing that indicated, among the people, industry, prosperity, or happiness. In that country were the rich living in their splendid palaces, and the poor were poor indeed. So you will find it in all the despotisms of the old world so you will rind it wherever the credit system is abolished or unknown." After referring to many of the personal calumnies which had been recently heaped upon his aged head, Gen. Harrison referred to the interesting question of the Presidency. Hi. remarks are here given. Let every Whig peruse them. It i. due to peaceable unity of action, and to the character of him who delivered them: In relation to the allusion .aid he, which the gentleman who had addressed him, had been pleased to make to the situation in which he stood before the people of the U. States, he must be permitted to say, that he was personally responsible for having been placed wlio coulT witTi truth" aayTtCat'any suggestion which had the least tendency towards the expression of a wish to become a candidate for tho Presidency ever came from his lips or his pen. And yet he certainly had friends to whom such a suggestion might have been safely made. Could it be supposed that he was ignorant of the fact that at least in four State, of the Union from the decisive manifestations of attachment to him, frequently made by large bodies of their citizens, that he miirht have entered unon the canvass under auspi ces by no means unpromising! Could it be supposed too, that he did not know that "tho thousand and one" calumnies which had been for twenty-five years so in-rluatrinimlv circulated airainst him could be easily re futed! The very fact that he had never before visited this interesting portion of a State of which he had for o many years been a citizen, that he was here (excepting the remnant of those gallant bands whom he had the honor to command in the second war of Indepen dence,) in the midst of strangers, afforded sufficient evidence that he never sought the mean, of placing himself in the situation ol competitor to the distinguish nA men who have from time to time been brought for ward as candidates for the highest office in the gift of the people. His ambition was limited to the lailhtui discharge of the duties of the more humble offices which the confidence of his fellow citizens or of their Gov ernment had conferred upon him. Indeed, at the po- EDITOR'S CORRESPONDENCE Mr. Editor: As the time is near at hand for the nomination of Whig candidates for the Legislature, does it not become the people to demand and know the true potilion of those Whig, who have caused, or permitted, themselves to be announced as candidates, without any apparent evidence existing that their ser vices in a public station, at this time, were desired; or likely to be called for by their political friends, We would not be understood as denying the absolute ghl of the citizen to be a candidate for any office he may desire. But we doubt much whether the man, who, at a crisis like the present, insists on this right, in defiance of tbe wishes of those whom he look, to for support, is entitled to the appellation of a true Whig. To be entitled to that proud namo, he should all times be found prepared to sacrifice hi. personal interest, and his ambition for publio honors, at the shrine of the public good. Every patriot must admit that the present posture of affairs pre-eminently de mands a strict adherence to this rule of action, departure from it may give the Tories the ascendancy the next Legislature. Nothing the can. Only think of the spectacle that would be presented by this great State sending to the United States Senate such man as we object to the names cited by our corres pondent. Their mention would but give importance to the insignificant. when the Whigs of every other State in the Union are doing their duty. A word now to tho Whig candidates above alluded . It is confidently belie red that a full and unquali- fled avowal of the position yon occupy i. desired by the public previous to the nomination, which are soon to be made. And we do but .peak the wishes of the Whig, throughout tho county, in calling on you to say, whether you are candidate, for nomination by the County Convention, and whe.'lier, if not nominated you will continue in the field! not that you will answer promptly. MANY, "There " sav. the Star, "were the soldier, of the riod of hi. first nomination by a portion of the people Revolution there were the soldier, of the last war there waa the Hero and Defender of the North-West- ern Frontier, surrounded by a more recent generation, and as the delightful strains of "Auld Lang Syne always filled wilh a pleasing melancholy, fell upon the ear, how must tha memories of these veterans run back to scenes, which, though never to return, are never to be forgotten; and how must me minus oi n. to other days, when this fuir portion of the land was a howling wilderness, with but here and there a newly commenced settlement, and when the honored guest of the day, amidst hazards and privations which cannot now be appreciated, wa. .triving to repel the invasion, of a .avago foe." The following toast, the sovenlh of the regular series, was received with great enthusiasm : "William Henrt Harrison.' Inheriting from his birth the virtues and principle, of revolutionary times, well has he illustrated them in a life of uncommon ile-votedness and fidelity in the publio service. His name is enshrined in million, ot nearts.nnu wncu waves nf party shall cease to boat upon it, posterity will do ample justice to lhat character whose history will occupy one of tha brightest pages in American Annals." Upon the reading of the toast, George Kirkum, Esq. first Vice Piesident of the day, tendered to Gen. Harrison, on behalf of the citizen, of Portage, "a cor dial welcome to the county, and the simpia nospiiair of that magnanimous State which upon every occasion has man tested the ourltv ol her patriotism oy disin terestedness of her course, he had supposed that hi. political careor wa. forever ended. It was the voice of the people which induced him to change the peaceful, and to him most delightful occupation of the hus bandman for the troubles and mortification, incident to the situation in which they placed him. It was tho same voice which had again elevated him to an equali. ty in claims for Ihe most exalted office not only in this nation but in the world, with the two mostdislinguish- ed cilizen. of our country. And however willing ha might be a. an individual to acknowlcge their superior attainments in the science of Government, he could not and would not bring himself to a level below that upon which o many honest, intelligent and palrintio citizens had places him.

His claims to rank amongst the most able statesmen none could deny, and he took a great pleasure in stating, that after having; enjoyed hie ? he helieverN unlimited confidence for years, in power, and out of power, he had never formed an idea that Greece or Rome ever possessed a purer patriot. Hi. distinguished rival in forensic attainments was every way his equal, and he should possess tne sympathy of every hontst man, for the unjust prejudice which are entertained against him. Daniel Webster waa never otherwise than a patriot.

The General is decidedly live most popular candi date, in this county, that hat bena named for the Presidency by the Whig party. You are aware, I presume, that this county ha. always been one of the 'strongest holds" of Jacksoaisna and Van Buronism; the majorities of the party being generally from five to sovon hundred. At tho last Presidential election, Harrison received a larger vote than waa ever given to any other Whig candidate for the Presidency the majority of Van Buren over him being only about two hundred and eighty votes, Mr. Clay ha very many strong friend, hore they have the utmost confidence in his principles and inter- rity hut Harrison seems to be the man for the people, and a greater voto csa bo obtained for him than for any other man. Should he receive tho nomination, of the Whig Convention, "Old Columbiana" will givo him a majority of her voles. If she does not, I am much' mistaken in the sign, of the times. To J, W. GORDON, Esq. I observe in your communication of the 7th instant. dated at Piqua, that you have directly drawn my name before the public. It is seldom that I pay any regard to matters of this character, choosing rather to let the authors of such attacks enjoy the brief eclat they are aesignea to produce, than to put myselt to the trouble of making a serious reply; and then, too, it runs counter to my vory nature to treat the slang of the day wilh seriousness. When, however, the nature of the allusion to me is of such an import as actually to invite a reply, i usually crave pardon ot the public, and, in my plain, flat, home-spun way, try and correct whatever appoars false and deceptive in its character, and likely to mislead thecommunity in which I live, I had no knowledge of you, sir, prior to your appearance in the communication referred to, nor, indeed, did I know that such a beingas yourself was in existence, until the pa per containing yourepisiifl wus put into niy nanus bya friend, I have nothing to do with any portion of your publication beyond the singlo paragraph devoted to myself; and can only hope, for the preservation of your own reputation for veracity, that you have been less unfortunate in respect to others than to me. The paragraph particularly devoted to myself reads as bl ows: "In adverting to a few removals for opinion's sako. which took place in the Congressional district in which I reside, a fair specimen may be given of the evils growing out of Gen. Jackson a new system. I will first name Col. Johnston, former Indian Agent. Col. Johnston had filled this office during the period of a-bout 30 years, from long experience had become well acquainted with the genius of the Indians, had made many advantageous treaties for the Government, with them, and had more influence with them, than a stranger possibly could have. In a word, he was "honest and capable." But in the exercise of his rights as a freeman, he had dared to prefer another to Gen. Jack son, tor which he was removed from office, and his place filled by Mr. McElvain.oneof the faithful devotees of Gen. Jackson. Was Mr. McElvaincompetent! L,ct tne loiiowing relation ol tacts answer this question. Col. Johnston removed 2200 Indian, beyond the Mississippi, at an expense of gll,000. Messrs. Mcblvain & Uo. removed 7.10 over the same ground, which coat the government $47,000. It appears then that if Mr. McEivain had removed the same number which Col. Johnston removed, (from the comparative expense incurred by the two agents) that it would have cost the Uovernment 9141,000, making a difference of J 130,000 in the management of Col. Johnston snd Mr. McEivain. In the last removal about 40 men were employed, at from l,50 to S5 per dav. A wagon and team were hired near Piqua, the owner of winch was one oi the lailhtui. Both he and his son were wagon masters. Both, it is true, were sober men. They had charge of the loaf sugar and fourth proof brandy, by which sundry of the agents daily got "badly tore," and at least on one occasion they fought iiko aors, ana tnus tney proceeded until a special A-gent had to be despatched from Washington City, to take charge of the expedition, and these functionaries wero dismissed from office." After looking at these grave charges, and duly reflecting tpon them, it was quite natural enough that I should ii quire who this Gordon is, what part of the country t o inhabits, and what his standing in society! Well, at it I went, with a firm determination that, should he turn out to be a man of character, and possessed of high-minded, honorable principles, I would, in spite of either passion or prejudice, endeavor to point out the error, into which he has fallen, and leave him in that eonrern of mind which such a rebuke would naturally bring upon him. This it is quite in my power to do. But I was proceeding to say that I immediately instituted an inquiry who you was, &c. and after somewhat of a minute investigation of the matter, I am happy to inform you that I have not yet come across a single solitary individual who ever knew or heard of you before, except one solitary person a post-rider, I believe who represenUvou to be a mild, unspotted, erauTy well oTinThe worPT; amfhe gave it as his candid belief, that if you ever said any thing harsh against any one, it was because he differed with you in political matters; and he asnred me, too, that a truer patriot, or a more noble, generous creature, could not be fonnd in all Mereatraufsthan yourself; that yon would go all lengths, and stop at nothing, for the good of your country, even to the great damage and derangement of yonr private concerns, and the injury of your family. These disinterested traits of character, sir, are a rare articlenow-a-days; and a man ao richly endowed with them as yourself, who has not a tainted spot about him, and possessed of abilities of uncommon order, can do much, very much, if sufficiently indnstrions, in reforming the abuses of the country, and revolutionizing the small neighborhood monopolies which have crept in among as in Ohio. These are certainly matters of rather serious interest to as, and you must go on, sir, in ferreting out the manifold evil, with which we are af- nicted. 1 will lend you a helping hand, btand up boldly in protecting the liberties of the people. Though aome may sneer, and other, look cold toward, you, lor your wucpenuence, it is nnposaiuie mat ao nouie and disinterested an undertaking can long escape the public eye, or be permitted for any length of time to go unrewarded. Posterity will remember yon, and althoagh but little known now in the world, a few more such lucky thrusts aa your lato one will give immortality to your name. Still, my dear sir, I must chide yoa a little. We who love the people so dearly, should never forget to remember that they must never be deceived or defrauded. Fultchood is soon detected by them. It can have no security in the garb of treachery or deception, and I know it cannot be in yonr nature, from the history given of you, to willfully tell an untruth. You and I must be cautious in this particular. We can never be too guarded in what wa write, and particularly in writing fur the press; for, depend apon it, if we slip the truth, the pcnplo will find it ont, and then our influence is prostrate forever. These editors are sometime, ao eager for a good thing, that they .natch up a communication before it i. half finished, and ere the author has pondered over its contents twico, to himself, it ha. perhaps travelled half the continent in the Gazettes of the day. Now then, air, directly to the point. Yon have been a littlo hasty, my friend, or some one for vou. in pen ning down the notice of my Indian agency in Ohio. The above is the extract. I am sorry to have to in form you, in thoj vory face of h, that some war has grossly misled you in this business, and, through his falsehoods, I am quite fearful that you will lose your .....uviiv-d w nil mi pwpia fi. juui num. mo una 1 shou'd deeply monrn, as inereny one oi ine main pillars of American liberty would be overthrown. Now, sir, I sell yoa njuy mat i never was, either directly or indirectly, concerned In removing Indians through Pinna that I never appointed wagon-masters in the service during the whole term of my agency nor had any one else with me the pamlul labor to perform of taking care of the loaf sugar and bmndy you mentioned; and that your entire article, painful as it is - - to me to sny It, Is, from beginning to end, so lar as relates to myself, utterly, absolutely, and wholly untrue. You refer to the aoency of my predecessor, Colonel Johnston. Although I am not within some fifteen or twenty years of hrs age, I am not a stranger to the western Indians : I have been bred from boyhood within the neighborhood of the leading tribes, most of whom am now in their grave or beyond the Mississippi. The treaties brought about with the Delu- wares, the onawances, tno oonpens, ine uitawas, etc. will attest my acquaintance and influence with them. nono of which bear the marli of profusion you havo siven them; and as respects the charge of extrava gance brosght against me, I feel ready to compare ac count wilh my predecessor at any lima, nnd on any ocension he may designate; snd although by reason of being immediately aurronntled by while people, several of the Indian tribes tmder my agency were rendered more difficult snd troablcsome to manago, and consequently occasioning much disturbance and enhanced expenses to the Government, (a difficulty but little known to Col. Johnston in the early part of hi. agency,) still, notwithstanding he was a good agent, and faithful in the discharge of his public trust. I will, however, hazard what little reputation I have In community upon the assertion that my contingent expense, rost the Government 85 percent, lea. during the time I had charge of Ihe Indians, than wn. expended during the agency of my predecessor for the same length of , time. This, sir, can be easily substantiated. Col. Johnston, ao doubt, as I'have done, retained a correct memorandum every item of expenditure; and if yon and the Colonel will take the trouble to draw off a complete abstract of the expenditures of his agency for the last six years of his term, I' do hereby pledge myself to make out, under the inspection of the stiffest imx-remmpiionitt, from Nick Bidclle down,' thai yoif may name here at th capital, or elsewhere, of the expenditures of my agency) and have them both published to the world.
